The Google Home Max was announced last October and went on sale in December, just in time for last year's holiday season. Since then, the pricey smart speaker has mostly kept steady at its $399 launch price, but now a number of retailers are knocking $50 off that number, bringing it down about 12% to $349. Supplies are scarce at some of these places, and this price may not be around for too long.

Popular e-commerce website Newegg is the latest victim of cyber attacking by Magecart, according to Volexity, a cyberthreat monitoring firm. Newegg is one in a string of high profile cyber attacks making use of the card skimming code which recently compromised British Airways, Ticketmaster, and Feedify. Most critically, customer names and complete card details were stolen using exploited code between August 16th and September 18th.

Magecart exploited the Newegg checkout process with JavaScript similar to the code used in their hacking of British Airways.

The ZenFone 5Z is the latest flagship device from Asus, sporting a notched 18:9 screen, a Snapdragon 845 processor, and dual rear cameras. Pre-orders went live last month, and now the phone is officially on sale. Asus told us that only the 64GB storage/6GB RAM model will be sold in the United States - not the beefier models with 128/256GB storage and 8GB RAM.

There are quite a few "budget flagships" at the $500 price point these days, and they're all pretty good phones. The Huawei-made Honor View10 is one of them, and it's been discounted by $70 to $429.99 at Amazon, HiHonor, and Newegg from now until September 2nd.

First announced at MWC this year, the three different Huawei MediaPad M5 tablets are now shipping in the US and available from both Amazon and Newegg. Beside Samsung's Galaxy Tab S series, Huawei's MediaPads are the only other high-end Android tablets that are worth looking at, and this new iteration is better while still being priced realistically.

The new Nokia 6 is now available in the United States, which means you can get the original for pretty great prices. A few months ago, the 2017 Nokia 6 dropped to $199 from Daily Steals. If you missed out on that sale, you can once again buy it for $199 - this time from Newegg.

The original Nokia 6 has a Snapdragon 430 processor, with 3GB RAM, 32GB storage (with microSD expansion), a 1080p 5.5" IPS display, and a 3,000mAh battery.

In August of last year, Huawei released four new MediaPad tablets, including the M3 Lite 8". It was already a good device when it was $200, but now it's on sale again. The tablet is currently $149.99 from Amazon and Newegg, a $50 reduction from the MSRP.

The M3 Lite has a Qualcomm Snapdragon 430 processor, 16GB of storage with microSD expansion, 3GB of RAM, dual speakers, and a 1920x1200 display.

Shortly after coming to the U.S., the Huawei Mate 10 Pro is already seeing a nice discount. You can pick up this phone for $649.99, $150 off MSRP, from Amazon, B&H, Best Buy, and Newegg. Honestly, this is a great deal.

Both Ryan and I reviewed the Mate 10 Pro, so be sure to check out our thoughts on it. Basically, we both came away with the consensus that this is a very good phone.

Sony's Xperia XA2, announced at CES this year, is already marked down on Amazon and Newegg. The midrange device is currently going for $317.99 for the silver version on Newegg, a total savings of $32, while the black variant is available for $318.99 on both retailers ($31 off MSRP).
